GTPAC hosts Atlanta Government Contracting Day event

May 31, 2019 By Andrew Smith

On Tuesday, May 21, 2019, the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (“GTPAC”) hosted an event called Atlanta Government Contracting Day.  The purpose of the event was to provide general information and education on how to be a successful government contractor in Georgia.  The event also served as a platform to provide attendees with awareness of resources that could provide assistance to small businesses looking to participate in the government market.

Over 60 small businesses attended the event from a wide variety of industries.  GTPAC wants to thank everyone who attended the event, and our resources partners (SBA, SBDC, SCORE, State of Georgia Purchasing Division) who participated.  The event was a huge success and we could not have done it without the help of our resource partners and the great support that was also provided by our friends at The Contracting Education Academy at Georgia Tech.

For those who did not attend, you can download and review the event slideshow presentations below:

Business plan and financial plan resources are readily available

December 21, 2018 By Andrew Smith

Folks often contact the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (GTPAC) to obtain help in formulating a business plan or a financial plan for their business.  It’s important to know that GTPAC does not provide counseling on those topics.  But help is available elsewhere!

We’ll identify business and financial planning resources in a moment, but first we’d like to explain why we don’t provide assistance in those areas:

  1. Our speciality is helping business identify, compete for, and win government contracts.  You must have an active, operating business in order to benefit from our services.
  2. Competent assistance with business formation topics — including creating business plans and financial plans — is available through another state-wide organization.  Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) provide free and low-cost help, including training workshops.

So, there are plenty of resources you can tap.  There are SBDC offices in 17 cities across the State of Georgia.  You can identify the SBDC nearest you here: https://www.georgiasbdc.org/locations/

In addition, the SBDC program’s federal sponsor, the Small Business Administration (SBA), has a free webinar entitled “How to Write a Business Plan.”  You can access that webinar here: https://www.sba.gov/course/how-write-business-plan/

In addition, here are several SBA documents that you can download right here:

  • Balance Sheet
  • Cash Flow Statement
  • Income Statement
